Easter Dinner Ideas

Resurrection rolls symbolize Christ and the empty tomb after He had risen. Children of all ages will wonder what happened to the soft, puffy marshmallow that was placed in the center of each roll.

This soft, slightly sweet sourdough wrapped around a sugar-free marshmallow will be a delight for children of all ages as you explain the resurrections story. I have tried Max Mallows and ChocZero Marshmallows and they are both very similar to regular marshmallows.

No-knead Sourdough Bread I love to bake and experiment with sourdough. This bread is so easy to make.

Stuffed Chicken Breasts These are a family specialty I learned to make from my sister-in-law. I will freeze the stuffed chicken breasts on cookie sheets. When frozen, vacuum pack them, and return to the freezer. They are so handy when you want a quick meal.

Grilled Salmon This is a family favorite and I don’t make it often enough if you ask my family.

Spiral cut hams are so easy to serve. Most of the carving is already done for you. Another plus is that the glaze can soak into the ham better with more of the surface exposed. Spiral hams are also fully cooked so you you basically just want to warm them to serving temperature.

Side Dishes…

Tomato Pie this pie was created after one that is served at a small local café. It is the first thing I make with garden ripe tomatoes.

Baked Mac and Cheese with a hidden veggie in it.

Salads…..

Amish Macaroni Salad THM-S has always been a favorite with our family and for carry-in dish dinners. I have often wished for a healthier version (without potatoes) and after numerous attempts

Most Seafood Pasta Salads use imitation crab meat but I have chosen to use canned shrimp and crab meat because of all the additives in imitation crab. This salad also reminds me of warm sun, sandy beaches, and ocean waves. Seafood Pasta Salad THM-S

Caprese Pasta Salad will be a great addition to your holiday table.

Potato Salad, a potluck staple and comfort food is still an old time favorite. This recipe use small yellow or red waxy potatoes which gives this salad the perfect texture and flavor.

Desserts….

And because I love to make desserts–here is quite a selection to choose from. My favorite dessert to make is cheesecakes!

This Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake combines a low-carb, sugar-free brownie, no-bake filling, strawberries, and chocolate ganache into an elegant dessert.
